Biden makes an impassioned speech urging a review of US election laws.

US President Joe Biden has called for historic changes to Senate rules to revise the country's election laws.

In an impassioned speech, he said he supported changes that would allow his electoral reforms to be passed without support from opposition Republicans.

Fear of two senators from his party thwarted his plans, and none of the Republicans backed them. A 60% majority is currently required to pass most of the Senate statutes.

And since the House of Lords of Congress is split 50:50 between the two parties, Biden's electoral law will almost certainly be passed unless amended. Analysts say such a change is unlikely as it would require the support of all Senate Democrats and a vote for the Vice President.

The first will introduce standards, national voting rules, which contradict the current regulations for each country. Meanwhile, the John Lewis Act will require some states to obtain government approval for any changes in election rules.

"To protect our democracy, I support amendments to Senate rules, regardless of how those rules need to be changed, to a minority of senators from blocking the right to vote," tPresidentent said in a speech in Georgia. On Tuesday.

"I've been having this secret conversation with members of Congress for the past two months. I'm sick of silence," he added, hitting a chair with his fist. Biden said the bill started a "battle for America's soul," adding that the 60-vote rule - known as the filibuster - made the Senate "a shell of its old self."

For most of the Senate's history, the open debate has allowed opponents to block legislation. Supporters say it tests the government's strength, forcing the government to seek consensus.

During World War I, the rule was passed to allow a two-thirds majority to end debate, but it was rarely used and was reduced to the 60-vote law in the 1970s.

Joe Biden is pushing for renewed pressure to pass legislation, but his chances of success have not changed much since Democrats first presented the current package of proposals to Congress in January 2019.

They are cloudy.

The reason for this should be known to the White House. Either the Senate Democrats have to win the support of the Republicans, or they have to change the rules so that the weak Democratic majority there can pass the bill themselves. Unfortunately, it seems neither possible, no matter how many statements Biden makes.

Biden's trip to Georgia could well be an attempt to please members of his troubled party who believe the tPresidentent is not doing enough to promote what he believes is the most critical problem he faces: The nation - and his party - today. But even there, the chances of success don't look so good. Several prominent voting rights activists skipped the Atlanta event because it was too small and late.

Stacey Abrams, Georgia's gubernatorial candidate and relentless supporter of democratic reforms, also made no mention of "planning conflicts."

Biden may refer to the impending opposition to the right to vote as a national "turning point," but the momentum is now in a direction Democrats dislike.
